Hi, All -- I just read a rather unexpected report from the Guardian. It suggests that using a pacifier (dummy) at night can reduce SID (crib/cot death) in infants, especially when infants are sleeping in "adverse conditions" such as in a house with smokers. Here's the link: ...

I have no idea where this came from, but the song is in hebrew, and the video is really cute. but.. its a big WMV file, 2.0 MB www.fleischer-pollitt.com/yoga.wmv

I've been living with these symptoms since I was a teen, but since having DD they seem to have got progressively worse, maybe as a result of the pregnancy, but probably also due to the additional stress of having a toddler. I always considered it 'normal' for me, but I've been frightened recently...

Does anyone have any tips for weaning a 19 month old who is very attached to boob :) ? He is very stubborn and can generally outlast me in a battle of the wills when it comes to feeding, the other night I was up with him for over 3 hours trying to get him back to sleep without feeding and...

My pum'kin (15 mo) insists on nursing whenever she sees me. I woh full time. When she's with her day care provider, she eats well. But on the weekends at home, the only meals she eats are about one fist full of lunch and dinner. That too she eats lunch and dinner only if I don't give her any...

We're back from our road trip, and it went pretty well, given that we were traveling with a 3.5 yo (3 and 15/24ths, according to him) and a 3mo. The grown-ups evening out was a pleasure (though we didn't get the Billy Crystal tickets), and DS2 slept through the whole thing, aside from opening his...

Just had my daughter on the 11th, determined to breast feed. But even with a good latch, my nipples are already cracked and bleeding. I caved and pumped and bottle fed tonight. I absolutely cannot tolerate the pain. I'm sitting here with an ice pack on each breast. I just don't know what to...

I think it is laziness with both of us, but Ada has slipped into not having the best latch in the world, any tips for encouraging her, obviously the same things as with a newborn apply, but some of them are more difficult to do with and awake and heavy 6 month old! We mostly feed lieing down due...

"oregonchick" wrote in message ... Because of the electrical supply differences, and my Medela is so bulky anyways, I was thinking I should get a battery operated or hand operated pump for over there. And could you all help me...

First of all I want to thank everyone for your support. Things are going so much better now. Cracked nipples healing up, and getting a better feel for the whole breastfeeding thing. I have a couple questions, and also would like opinions... Is breast preference common? Maybe it's because I'm...

Emily is now 8 days old. She was having 2-3 poopy diapers a day, but hasn't had one for about 24 hrs, maybe a little longer. She is eating well, having lots of wet diapers and is content. Isn't this the time when they are supposed to poop 4+ times a day? Should I be worried? Betsy

Well, I'm feeling much better! My nipple soreness is no longer "grit your teeth and whimper", but more like rubbing a bruise. Also, Miss Madeline had gained a pound over her birthweight at our 2 wk Dr appt!! So, I'm sure she's getting plenty of BM. Although the LC and nurses at the hospital said...

my pediatrician who made a very big deal about letting us know we should never let our newborn cry, and that we should always go try and fix his issues so that he could learn to trust in us, has suggested we let the Monk cry it out, alone in his room, at bedtime because he is a "trained...
